Rebuilding your PC after a malware infection is a total pain in the butt. Its time consuming, troublesome and occasionally problematic. Ransomware has been making the rounds worldwide, and short of forking over the required cash, there’s little you can do to save your PC from a complete rebuild once infected. Ridding your system of this malware is difficult. It’s well written and in most cases even activates even in Safe Mode. It’s for this reason that I really like Anvi Rescue Disk. It’s a must have Windows utility.

Anvi Rescue Disk helps users remove ransomware infections. If your computer is locked up due to a ransomware infection, and won’t even boot into safe mode, then Anvi Rescue Disk may be able to save your computer. In many Eastern and Western European nations, users have seen law enforcement logos displayed on their screens with messages saying that their browsing habits have broken the law and they must now pay a fine in order to be able to continue using their PC’s. While this type of malware is extremely difficult to get rid of, Anvisoft seems to have finally found a way to combat this problem.

Using the software is simple. You download, burn a CD/DVD, restart your PC using the burned CD/DVD, scan and clean. A simple restart after that, and your PC should be ransomware free. However, a word of caution – both the problem and the cure are very new and likely to undergo a lot of tweaking in the immediate future. If you get infected more than once, you will likely need to rerun the tool or may need to wait for an update.
